Flags flew high and American pride was in sight all over the Bolingbrook Golf Club Thousands pitched tents and enjoyed the All American Celebration sponsored by the Village and hosted at the Bolingbrook Golf Club. There was something for everyone at the celebration, with a host of kid’s activities, including various inflatables and Radio Disney.

Two powerful storm cells made the wind screech and thunder sound like artillery the final night of June.

The violent weather, called “derecho” thunderstorms by meteorologists, hammered Chicago and its suburbs and left a wake of destruction in their path.

The first set of severe rainstorms had already hit the western suburbs by 7 p.m. and led to hours of dangerous weather across the Chicago area.There was a brief respite as the first set of storms moved further east, but by 9:45 p.m. a second set of more powerful storms arrived in the area.

The second round of thunderstorms led to tornado warnings being issued for parts of Cook, Kankakee and Will counties that lasted until about 11 p.m. At the height of the storm, over 350,000 ComEd customers across the state were without power.

The National Weather Service would later confirm that a brief EF-1 tornado landed >> see storms | page 4

It’s all about giving back to the community and for the Hampton Park Social Athletic Club it’s about giving back to the kids.

Commonly known as the SAC club, the 175-member group continues to grow, dating back as one of the community’s longest serving organizations in Romeoville, some 52 years. The club has recently expanded into Bolingbrook as well, inclusive of all those that need a little help up.

The club was born from a group of men who were part of a softball team who decided they would like to help kids in the neighborhood be able to do the same, play sports. With a simple goal for all kids to be able to

P o l i c e arrested a Rockford man wanted for two murders after a five day manhunt and high-speed TerenCe DoDDY, chase.

36, oF roCkForD Earlier, U.S. courtesy isp Marshals joined Illinois State police and Rockford police in a nationwide search for Terence Doddy, 36, of Rockford. He’s wanted for the murders of Tonya Bargman, 44, of Monticello, and Todd Hansmeier, 37, of Rockford.

Authorities say Doddy was apprehended around 11:23 a.m. on July 4, as he appeared to be headed towards Beloit,Wisconsin.

Reports of Doddy’s whereabouts began to come in the day before, when he was spotted by an off duty Winnebago County police officer near Machesney Park. The following day Doddy was again spotted in the Village of Rockton, after a state trooper saw Doddy in the Gray Nissan he was believed to be driving.

Soon after, state police launched single engine aircraft into the area of the sightings to assist multiple local, county and state law enforcement officers on the ground to zero in on the murder suspect.

Police provided an updated photo of Doddy obtained from store surveillance where he was believed to be in the process of exiting a store location with several items. At press time the store was not being named but is located in the Rockford area.

While fleeing police, Doddy lost control of the Nissan and crashed into a tree on Highway 81, west of Beloit, which allowed officers to take him into custody.

He was taken to a Rock County hospital for his injuries and no other injuries were reported, said police “Our thoughts are with the grieving families who have lost their loved ones and our hope is that this arrest will bring some closure to their pain,” said Illinois State police Director Hiram Grau.

On July 1 a rest stop attendant called police when he found an unresponsive Bargman around 8:30 p.m. at the Willow Creek Rest Area off I-39 in Paw Paw, Illinois.

Once on the scene, investigators reviewed surveillance video of the rest area that reportedly shows Bargman exiting a bathroom and being attacked by Doddy. After the attack Doddy reportedly stole Bargman’s car, a Gray 2013 Nissan Altima bearing Illinois license plates “BARGMN 2,” to flee the area.

Doddy is also wanted by Rockford police as a suspect in the first-degree murder of a coworker.

On June 30 Rockford Firefighters found Hansmeier’s charred body after responding to a fire at Quancor Virtual Sales & Marketing Inc. in the 300 block of North Alpine Road around 5:30 a.m.

An autopsy showed Hansmeier’s cause of death was traumatic head and neck injuries, said a release from the Winnebago County Coroner.

Rockford Police said Hansmeier and Doddy knew each other, describing their relationship as “associates,” and said they both worked at Quancor.

Before his arrest, police believed that Doddy was in possession of a blue dome styled camping tent and video surveillance footage from a Rockford area store released by police showed him purchasing several items.

Bolingbrook is home to two restaurants built by a Chicago legend—the Portillo Restaurant Group who just announced a new Boston investor.

The iconic restaurant chain has entered into a “definitive agreement” with Berkshire Partners, a private equity firm that will invest in Portillo’s, which includes Portillo’s Hot Dogs, Inc. and Barnelli’s Pasta Bowl.

Portillo’s Hot Dogs has been a staple in Bolingbrook, opening its first location in 1976. With its huge following, Portillo’s outgrew the location and built a new restaurant in Julian’s Shopping Plaza in 2009. And not long ago the group Honey-Jam Café, named after owner and founder Dick Portillo’s wife and kids, in the same center off of Boughton Road.

First established in 1963, Portillo’s continued to grow year after year and currently operates 38 locations across Illinois, Indiana, California and Arizona.

“Portillo’s is my life’s work and I remain committed to ensuring the continued growth and success of the business,” said Portillo. “I

“Portillo’s is my life’s work and I remain committed to ensuring the continued growth and success of the business,” said Portillo. “I was seeking an experienced partner that shared our vision for the company and an appreciation for our culture. was seeking an experienced partner that shared our vision for the company and an appreciation for our culture.

After careful consideration, Berkshire Partners proved to be the best choice. I look forward to working together to further strengthen our company.”

Berkshire Partners reported that they will be working closely with Portillo to support the growth of the company.

“Portillo’s is a highly differentiated restaurant with a passionate customer base,” said Josh Lutzker, managing director at Berkshire Partners.

“In addition to great food, the Portillo’s name stands for quality and service.

We are looking forward to working with Dick and his management team to uphold their culture of excellence.

We see great potential in the business and share Dick’s vision to methodically expand operations in Chicago and beyond.”

News >> storms, from page 1 that night near Romeoville and Plainfield in Will County. Featuring winds of up to 95 mph, it touched down in Plainfield and crossed over Interstate 55 to Romeoville over a course of about three minutes.

No one was injured but trees and homes were damaged due to the tornado’s strong winds.

“We did not receive any reports of power outages. However, we did experience extensive reports of roads flooded throughout the middle of town between Oakton and Dempster,” said Niles Police Sgt. Robert Tornabene.

This flooding included Dempster Street at the viaduct and Dempster Street at Olcott Avenue.

Moreover he also said Main Street and Milwaukee Avenue as well as Harlem Avenue, south of Dempster Street, were all blocked by standing water until at least 7:41 a.m. on July 1.

“The police desk received calls of basements flooding and sewers backing up and those were passed on to public works,” said Tornabene.

At press time the Niles officials reported a total of 28 eight calls; 22 of which were for street flooding while the other six were for basement flooding.

“The northern part of Niles was hit with 2.75 inches of rain and the southern part was hit with 2.56 inches of rain,” said Niles

Communications Coordinator Hayley Garard. “There is very minimal tree damage and most is confined to a small area west of Harlem and north of Main.”

Nearby Morton Grove also experienced flooding around Dempster Street and Waukegan Road and downed tree limbs around Menard Avenue and Dempster Street.

“I think our streets opened up again around 2 a.m.,” said Morton Grove Police Cmdr. Paul Yaras.

In Park Ridge, the city’s police station became flooded with water during the storm’s heavy rains.

“The courtyard leading up to of our main entrance as well as the patrol door flooded with between four to six feet of water,” said Park Ridge Police Cmdr. Jason Leavitt.“[It] caused water to come in through both doors, causing relatively minor flooding inside.”

The flooding caused areas of the police station to have about an inch of water on the floor.

“Anything on the floor was damaged but for the most part the floors were mopped and vacuumed dry,” said Leavitt.

As for the rest of Park Ridge, while there were no reported power outages or trees knocked down there was flooding at the Park Ridge Country Club and Touhy Avenue viaduct during the second wave of storms until about 1 a.m.

The morning after the storms officials closed the I-190 entrance

to O’Hare International Airport at Mannheim Road thanks to flooding and did not fully reopen it to traffic until about 7:45 a.m.

The evening’s storms also forced airlines to cancel over 450 flights at O’Hare and nearly all of the flights out of Midway International Airport. By the next day the two airports, while still canceling some flights, were resuming their regular operations.

Flooding was also an issue in Downers Grove, where downed power lines and standing water were a dangerous combination for residents and crews working to clean up storm debris.

Further south, Will County’s suburbs were still experiencing power outages as of 4:30 p.m. on July 1, with about 5,600 ComEd customers in Romeoville still without power.

In Romeoville officials warned residents to avoid flooded around Arlington Drive and Dalhart Avenue areas during the storm.

To help deal with the storm and its aftermath, Romeoville also officials opened up an Emergency Operations Command Center.

Here too, downed power lines were a danger to crews working to restore power and clean up debris. Some power lines, sparking with electricity, were threatening to ignite the trees they were tangled up in. >> to see the full version of this story, check out buglenewspapers.com

Spots at Chick-fil-A Bolingbrook will Eat Free on July 11, 2014 as the restaurant joins 1,800 other Chick-fil-A restaurants across the country for the 10th Anniversary of its most celebrated chain-wide event honoring the beloved “Eat More Chikin” Cows, with Cow Appreciation Day. As part of the restaurant chain’s national celebration, Chick-fil-A Bolingbrook is offering a free meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) to any customer who visits the restaurant FULLY dressed as a cow.

Customers dressed “head to hoof” in cow attire will receive a free Chick-fil-A Meal, which includes an entree, side item and beverage of choice. Customers who are too “chicken” to go all out in cow attire will receive a free entree of choice for wearing any cowspotted accessory, such as a hat, scarf, tie or purse.

In 2013, more than 900,000 cow-dressed customers stampeded Chick-fil-A restaurants nationwide for Cow Appreciation Day. The chain expects to host more than one million cow-clad guests for its 10th annual event. Chick-fil-A has a special website dedicated to the day: www.CowAppreciationDay. com. The site offers in-depth details on the celebration and cow costume ideas, as well as downloadable cow spots, masks and other bovine-themed

accessories customers can use to create costumes.

Chick-fil-A Bolingbrook’s costumed guests can also participate in the national photo contest that will be hosted on the Cow Appreciation Day website, as well as the Chickfil-A iOS and Android apps.

Participants can submit a photo in one of three categories-Best Calf/Calves, Best Cow, and Best Herd-for a chance to win various prizes.

The excitement around Cow Appreciation Day each year offers further proof that the passion for Chick-fil-A’s beloved bovines is stronger than ever. For the past 19 years, Chick-fil-A’s renegade “Eat Mor Chikin” Cows have entertained consumers through ads highlighting their desperate, self-preserving antics in an effort to convert beef eaters into chicken fans. In addition to clever roadside billboards, the “Eat Mor Chikin” Cows are the focal point of the company’s in-restaurant point-of purchase materials, promotions, radio and TV advertising, and clothing and merchandise sales.

Chick-fil-A Bolingbrook is located at 245 N. Weber Road, near the intersections of Weber and Boughton Roads. For more information,events and updates, check them out online at www. cfabolingbrook.com.

News DuPage Township

Township providing fun ‘Summer Bridge’ for many VVSD students 200 children ages 3 to 15, will participate in summer activities When DuPage Township launched its free Summer Bridge program four years ago, officials could only dream of providing hundreds of local youths with an opportunity to get out of the house and get some exercise.

This summer, that dream has become a reality with well over 200 children ages 3 to 15, most of them Valley View School District 365U students, spending two hours a day, three days a week, socializing and participating in dozens of fun, exciting activities.

“We’re simply trying to get the kids off the couch and active during the summer,” said DuPage Township Youth Coordinator Kristina Parro, a former Bolingbrook High School honor student who will be a senior at Butler University in the fall.

Parro and her 5-person staff oversee the Summer Bridge children as well as the roughly 75 “volunteer coaches” most of whom come from the ranks of the BHS National Honor Society and the Brooks Middle School Junior National Honor Society.

“It’s awesome that all of these volunteer coaches have dedicated so much time to this program,” Parro said. “We’re building team and leadership skills not only in the young campers but also in the volunteers.”

The Summer Bridge team tries to take children on at least one field trip a week to places like Hidden Oaks, Pelican Harbor, AMF Bowling Lanes, or miniature golfing. The other two days each week they participate in all sorts of different activities including

relay races, kick ball, tag, dancing and much more.

To celebrate Independence Day, they created care packages and wrote thank you notes for soldiers.

Parro credits DuPage Township Supervisor Bill Mayer and Township Trustees for having the foresight to create the program for children who live in the township.

“We just want to provide a safe and fun environment for everyone involved,” she said.

Slammers to play softball in Battle of Sexes

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

Guys don’t like striking out at the plate. It can be even worse when they are struck out by a girl.

No matter the talent level of the female pitcher, the fear will be there and members of the Joliet Slammers baseball team will have the chance to face those fears at 7:05 p.m.

Monday, July 14 when they take on the Dutch National Fast Pitch Softball team in a Battle of the Sexes game at Silver Cross Field.

While the Slammers’ hitters are looking forward to the challenge, they know hitting a softball pitcher will not be easy as the ball comes from a completely different plane than they are used to.

“I have never hit against a softball pitcher before, but I’m looking forward to it,” said Adam Giacalone, the Slammers’ first baseman, currently batting .285 with four homers and 16 RBI.“I am probably going to just come out here and look dumb.

I am just going to close my eyes and swing. It is going to be real interesting. The fans are going to probably get a good laugh.”

Giacalone is looking forward to the closer base paths in a softball game.

“It might make me look fast,” joked the former 16th round pick of the Milwaukee Brewers.

One of the Slammers’ top hitter this season, Grant DeBruin, said he faced a fast pitch softball pitcher once more than five years ago.

“One time in high school I hit off our ace who went to Kent State and I didn’t touch it,” said DeBruin, who is hitting .357 this season. “If they start

throwing that rise ball, it will be game over for us. In baseball, there is no rise.”

The Joliet third baseman knows the guys are set up for failure, but knows the game will be fun for players and fans.

“They are going to think, these are professional baseball players against professional softball player, the guy should do it. It is not easy to hit a softball,” DeBruin said. “We are out there to give the people a good time, which I’m sure will happen. It is an experience that I am sure will be great. I am looking forward to it.”

One member of the Slammers who has more recent experience hitting softball pitching is outfielder Marquis Riley.

Riley was a starter in the Frontier All-Star game last season and he faced the Akron Racers Fast Pitch Softball team as part of an All-Star week exhibition.

“It is hard,” Riley said.“I faced a girl in high school and she struck me out. At the All- game last year, it was just ambush the first pitch because you want to get a fastball and not let them throw the junk. They can throw a ball that moves all four directions and that is something we are not used to.

You just have to jump on the first pitch that looks straight and hope you hit it, because after that, good luck.”

This will be the first time the Slammers will host this event and tickets are currently on sale for the game.

General admission tickets will be $7, reserved tickets will be $12, and club tickets will be $15.

“This is a once in a lifetime event for the Slammers and >> see BATTLE | page 12

The Slammers will also be hosting two softball camps that day.

There will be a general camp for youth players ages U6 to U12 from 1-2:30 p.m. and an elite camp for U12 to U16 players from 3:30-5 p.m.

Each camp is $70, which includes four reserved tickets to the Battle of the Sexes game.

Group discounts are available for the game.

ALL-STARS Three Slammers have been selected to the Frontier League All-Star game.

Russell Moldenhauer will be the starter at Designated Hitter for the West at GCS Ballpark, the home of the Gateway Grizzlies on Wednesday July 16 at 7pm.

Also making the All-Star team from the Slammers are DeBruin and starting pitcher Blair Walters.

Moldenhauer, the former Washington Nationals prospect, was a 1st-team postseason Frontier League All-Star for Lake Erie in 2013. He was named

the Frontier League Player-ofthe-Week for his performance in the first week of June this season when he hit .542 with five RBI.The University of Texas product is currently hitting .286 with 8 doubles, 5 homers and a team-best 26 RBI. DeBruin is currently ranked 4th in the Frontier League in batting average at .357 and has hit safely in 16 of his last 17 games. He leads the Slammers with 60 hits, 12 doubles, a .500 slugging percentage,an OPS (onbase-plus-slugging-percentage) of .903 and has a team-high 16 extra base hits. DeBruin is 10 for his last 21, a .476 batting average in his last five games.

He holds the school record for career batting average at UABHuntsville at .378.

Walters has been the team’s most consistent starting pitcher and is currently 11th in the Frontier League in ERA at 2.66.

He leads the league in innings pitched with 67 2/3 and has one complete game. Batters are only hitting .218 against him in 2014. His best performance came against River City on June 8th when he went 8 shutout innings while allowing just two hits. He struck out 9 and walked only two. Walters, an 11th round pick of the White Sox in the 2011 draft, also threw 7 shutout innings against Schaumburg on July 1st. He allowed only five hits and struck out four to earn the win.

Childhood was not particularly kind to Downers Grove South senior Danny Spinuzza – but from the outside looking in, you wouldn’t know.

Spinuzza’s mom died when he was only 10 years old, leaving his dad, Jim, to raise him as a single parent.

Like most fathers and sons, the Spinuzza’s bonded over sports and as Danny excelled through his career, he said he did it all as an appreciation and testament to his dad. After being a member of both the Voyager Media

basketball and baseball teams and being invited to the Prep Shootout senior basketball team, Danny is the 2014 Voyager Media Multisport Athlete of the Year.

“It is humbling. Dealing with all the hardships in my childhood, there was always one person I knew I that would be there for me and that was my father,” Danny said.“All of the awards and accomplishments I have achieved weren’t for the satisfaction of myself, but as a thank you to my dad for all that he has done. He was always there for me and kept me motivated and kept me on the right path and all this is for him.” >> see MALE | page 16

mark + scott’s

review

Tanna Farms

Strategic plan Tanna Farms has unique setup For the past couple years, I’ve been seeing pictures of Tanna Farms Golf Club in Geneva and have been taylor’s take looking forward by scott taylor to playing there.

I got that opportunity to review the course a couple of weeks ago and it lived up to my expectations.

For $49 with a cart during the week, it is one of the best value courses around the Chicagoland area.

While it has some of the similar problems of a cheaper course (players not replacing ball marks and divots), the course is still beautiful with plenty of strategy.

It is rare for a course to start with a par-3, but that is exactly the case with Tanna Farms. The first hole is a short par-3 (120 from blue) that plays over the water. Considering there is no driving range, this is a tough short iron start to open your round, but it is a great golf hole to start.

That is followed up with a reachable par-5 (482) and then there is another par-3 over water, this one playing at 167 yards.The first major strategic hole is the fourth hole, the first par-4 on the course. From the blue it plays

345, but with a dogleg, it is more like 315. However, there is water in front of the green and homes to the left, making it a major risk/ reward.

A unique par-5 follows with a narrow landing to place second shots in between water on each side. A very tough hole. Holes seven and eight are also difficult par-4s with seven being uphill and eight being protected by water to the right. The front nine has four par-3s, which is very unique and plays to just 34 strokes. However, it is far from easy, even at just 2,650 yards as the slope is still 126. It is definitely an iron player’s nine.

The 10th hole and 11th hole both play with water on the left, leading up to my favorite hole, a short par-4 12th hole. It plays just 325 from the blue and 277 from the white, yet is the No. 3 most difficult hole on the course.

This is because the fairway is an island and the green is nearly an island. Two short and accurate irons can lead to a birdie, but going for the green is especially tempting.

That is what Mark Gregory and I both did. Neither of us hit good shots, but we managed to avoid all of the water by hitting it around the 11th green. Mark was in a greenside bunker and I was just off the fringe. We still had

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Tanna Farms opens with a rare par-3, which plays over water.

to play over water and a bunker though to get to the green.

After the short hole, the longest and most difficult hole on the course is next. The par5 13th hole is fairly tight and is 578 yards from the blue. The 14th hole is a dogleg that has some options and some hazards.

Mark and I both somehow got pars on it.

The 15th is a par-5 with three separate hazards, the 16th is a par-3 over a hazard and the 17th is another long par-5.The 18th is another short par-4 where the fairway is separated by rough near the green and is a good hole

to have a nice finishing score on.

The back nine has three par5s and plays 3,081 yards with 37 strokes. Even with three more strokes, it still plays much longer, thanks to the long par-5s.

I have played a lot of courses in my life, but not many offer the different options that this one does. Each hole is unique and it is a true “thinkers” golf course where strategy comes in to play quite often.

I was told by one of the workers that the course used to be just nine holes and has moved to 18 holes in the past decade.

That would lead to the lone downfall of this course, which was that there was no halfway house with the layout. You go away from the clubhouse and are pretty much on your own until the end. The beverage cart also didn’t take cards, so if you aren’t prepared (which I wasn’t) there is no eating or drinking for your entire round.

Despite that fact though, it was a great course to play and it is plenty of fun to hit the different kinds of shots throughout the course. It is definitely one I recommend playing, especially for the money.

Talent, training a winning formula for AOY Slowek By mike sandrolini For the bugle

mike@buglenewspapers.com @voyagersport

Nothing last summer could keep Elanta Slowek from completing her training regimen in preparation for her senior year at Maine East. Not even if the gates at the school’s football field, where the track is located, happened to be locked.

“I’d just go over the fence and do what I had to do,” she said.

Voyager Media’s Female Multisport Athlete of the Year estimates that she spent around six hours per day, six days a week during the summer either training or going to camps to help hone her skills. “(All) that gave me an advantage,” she said, “Because that’s one minute someone else isn’t doing anything.”

It goes without saying that all the hard work paid off. Slowek was the second-leading scorer and defensive stalwart on a Maine East girls basketball team that won 20 games and captured the CSL North championship for the first time in school history last winter. She also was a member of the North squad in the Voyager Media Prep Shootout.

This past spring, Slowek made her third straight appearance at the Class 3A state meet in the high jump, while also

qualifying for state for the second consecutive season in the discus.

Slowek’s third time to state was a charm as she won a state medal in the discus, finishing sixth with a toss of 129 feet, 11 inches.

“I’m glad I had such a great support system,” said Slowek, who plans to compete in both basketball and track at Carthage College. “I did what I was supposed to do and went above my expectations. I’m grateful I had teammates and coaches that said, ‘It’s now or never.’ ” One of those coaches is basketball coach Karol Hanusiak.

“The kid just has such natural athletic ability,” Hanusiak said.

“I’ve come across many kids that have had athletic ability and seen many kids who don’t want to use it. Elanta, she trusted the people around her and her coaches. She had really specific goals and really worked hard in the off-season to achieve those (goals).

“Sometimes her biggest enemy was not her competition, but herself.”

Hanusiak said Slowek had to learn that she wasn’t always going to be perfect, nor was she always going to be the best on the court or on the track “but it’s >> see FEMALE | page 16

Birdsell also was the leader of Lisle’s girls basketball team which reached the Class 2A regional final.

She also competed on the winning North squad at the Voyager Media Prep Shootout this spring.

She was second on the Joliet Central volleyball team with 140 kills and one of only three Steelmen to surpass the 100-kill plateau for the season.

handed pitcher and outfielder for the Mustangs’ team that reached the Class 4A supersectional, winning the sectional title for only the second time in school history.

He batted .425 with 34 hits and 20 RBI. He went 7-2 on the mound with a 1.28 ERA. He said he never really considered choosing between the two sports he loves.

“I don’t really try and take in other people’s opinion,” Danny said.“My father and I talked about it and he told me to do what I love to do and what I loved to do is play both. Going from one season, right to the other was difficult, but I stayed focused and put all my effort into whatever

sport was in season at that time.”

While he enjoyed it in high school and considered playing both in college, Danny has decided to hang up the sneakers and focus on baseball at the next level. He is currently looking over schools, saying he will probably play next season at a junior college because of his late decision.

Multisport Athletes of the Year in other zones include:

He was one of the leaders of the Raider defense that allowed less than 10 points per game and was named to the Voyager Media All-Area football team.

On the baseball field this season, he took his comfortable spot behind the plate as the Raiders’ catcher. He hit .341 with four doubles and 15 RBI.

OK to have a goal to do that.”

“Once she was able to grasp that, that’s when things started to really change for her,” Hanusiak said.

“Danny Spinuzza was a three-year varsity starter,” Downers South basketball coach Kristopher Olson said.

“Danny started every game and we only took him out when he was in foul trouble. Danny was our floor general and he set our offense up. Danny also made the big shot when necessary.

He was our best ball handler and we had no back up for him.”

“She is an all-around great athlete,” said Romeoville softball coach Christina Douglas.

A point guard on the basketball team, she tallied 60 assists (led team) and 39 steals (second on team) for Romeoville. She also averaged five points per game.

DRAKE FELLOWS Sophomore was an important part of the Joliet CatholicAcademy basketball team that won a Class 3A regional title this season. The 6-5, 185-pounder helped solidify the Hilltoppers’ frontcourt.

Fellows, who has already committed to play for 2014 College World Series champion Vanderbilt, went 6-1 on the mound with a .63 ERA and 77 strikeouts for Joliet Catholic. He was a member of the Voyager Media All-Area team.

“Drake really exploded onto scene this spring, tremendous talent that is going to be fun to watch for two more years,” Joliet Catholic Academy baseball coach Jared Voss said.

JOHN HADER Hader, who’ll be running track at Eastern Illinois next spring, became the first athlete in Maine South history to earn state medals in both the 100- and 200-meter dashes.The senior also was an allCSL cornerback, and head coach David Inserra didn’t hesitate to use him offensively to stretch opposing defenses.

“We didn’t have to worry about his side of the ball when he was over there covering,” Inserra said.

“Just a great kid, a hard worker and used his abilities to the best of what he had. And what a great track season he had.”

“Michaela has been our leading hitter all season,” Plainfield Central softball coach Anne Campbell said. “She does so much for us in the lead-off spot. She can hit for power, and when she singles, her base stealing success puts her in scoring position. She has also been the team leader on the field.”

Schlattman was also a started on the Wildcats’ basketball team.

She hit the game-winning threepointer in a regional quarterfinal win over Romeoville. immediately made an impact on the Spartan athletic scene.

His biggest impact was as a two-way player on the football field. The junior made defenses weary with his speed. He caught 45 passes for 923 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also had three interceptions on defense and was a member of the Voyager Media All-Area team.

“Chuck Hunter is one of the best receiver/cornerbacks I have had the opportunity to coach,” Romeoville football coach Jeff Kuna said. “He has great ball skills and ability to adjust to the ball.As a cornerback he provides great coverage as well as being a very good open field tackler.

He definitely provides big play potential every time he touches the ball.”

Hunter was a starter on the basketball team under new coach Marc Howard and averaged six points, two rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

DANIEL JACKSON Jackson, a junior, led Plainfield East to its first playoff berth in school history. A defensive lineman, Jackson spent every game in the opponent’s backfield, before an injury ended his season early.

In seven games he had six sacks and 15 tackles for loss, with 38 total tackles.

“Daniel was the best defensive tackle in the conference,” Plainfield East football coach Mike Romeli said. “He disrupted play after play and was always in opposing team’s backfields.”

Jackson was also a state qualifier in track and field. He qualified in the shot put after a put of 52-feet, 11-inches at sectionals. Jackson had a top put of 47-8 at state. He also took second in the Southwest Prairie Conference in both the discus and shot put.
